ALGOL 68R - Restrictions in The Language Compiled

Restrictions in The Language Compiled

“ It is a question of morality. We have a Bible and you are sinning!

-- Mailloux

 ”

In order to allow one pass compilation ALGOL 68-R implemented a sub-set of the language defined in the original report:

  1. Identifiers, modes and operators must be specified before use.
  2. No automatic proceduring.
  3. Explicit void mode.
  4. No formal declarers.
  5. No parallel processing.
  6. goto may not be omitted.
  7. Uniting is only valid in strong positions.

Many of these restrictions were adopted by the revised report on ALGOL 68.

Famous quotes containing the word language:

    ““What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
    By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
    The first at least of these I thought denied
    To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
    Created mute to all articulate sound;
    The latter I demur, for in their looks
    Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
